How to archive emails & save to CD:
1. Create a new folder on your desktop. Later on this folder will be written to CD.
2. Open Outlook Express. Change the size of this window so that you can see the new folder you made on the desktop while also being able to see the contents of your email folders.
3. Select the emails you want to move off of the server. Go to Tools, Mark For Offline and choose Download Message Later. Hit the Send/Receive button to have the selected messages downloaded. After they have finished downloading proceed to next step.
4. Drag and drop the selected emails into the Inbox folder located under Local Folders. A copy of the emails is now stored on the C: drive. Alternatively, you can make a new folder under Local Folders and drag and drop the emails in there instead of in the Inbox. Note that when you copy emails from the email server to the Local Folders that they are marked for deletion on the server.
5. Now drag and drop the same emails you had selected into the folder on the desktop.
6. Once your emails have been copied to the folder on the desktop you can now burn the folder onto a CD.
7. Now that you have 2 copies of your emails (one on CD, one on the hard drive) you can Purge (i.e. permanently delete) the emails from Outlook Express.
